“….I’ve interviewed George several times this season. He is a laid back character but communicates fantastically well and has the ability both on and off the track to get to the very top of this sport, as we are seeing now.”

Simon Hill – Sky Sports (2008)

“George is an absolute pleasure to work with because he is willing to work hard at what he does. He absorbs everything from the engineers and from team mate Michael Cain which has helped him develop as a driver. We gave George a run in the Touring Car at the end of last year and he blew the team away with his professionalism and pace. He didnt make a single mistake and was on the pace of our regular drivers. It will be interesting to watch him develop in Pro-am 1 which is undoubtedly a bigger challenge for him.”

David Bartrum – Motorbase Performance Team boss

“George has the potential to be a huge talent. He is media savvy and commercially aware and these two attributes alone will ensure he goes a long way in the sport.”

Roger Burnett – Motorsport PR expert

“I have been working with George for the past 12 months and during that time I have found him to be one of the most committed, professional and hard working drivers that I coach. During our time together we have been able to combine his raw speed with a more structured approach to his preparation and driving and he is now at a stage where he will be an asset to any team.”

John Pratt – iZone Driver Performance

“It never ceases to amaze me how such a young man with so little racing experience can drive so fast”

“The Porsche Carrera Cup provides the ideal platform to launch young raw talent into the world of professional motor sport”

Tim Harvey – Ex- BTCC and Porsche Carrera Cup Champion

“I’ve been working with George for the last six months in helping him develop his mental skills. During that time I have been impressed by his demanding interest in understanding how his racing mind can be improved and also, his motivation to succeed in that area. George understands just how crucial the managing of his racing mind is to his career as a successful race driver. He is one of the best racers I have worked with, and has, in my view, the potential to reach the very pinnacle of GT racing.”
